Remember:

• Don't pour fats, oils or grease down the drain. Instead, collect and dispose them into your green organics cart.
• Avoid flushing wipes and other hygiene products; even products labelled as flushable can clog pipes.
• Take unused medications to the pharmacy for disposal rather than flushing them down the toilet. Pharmaceuticals are not treated and end up in our water and environment.
• Properly dispose of household hazard waste. Materials such as paints, glycol and motor oils are accepted at the Fort Saskatchewan Transfer Station year round.
• Set aside pesticides, herbicides, solvents, and chemicals for the Toxic Round-Up collection event or take to an eco centre in the region.
• Use your organics cart for vegetable peelings and food instead of a garborator. Ground organic materials cost more to treat and must be disposed of at the wastewater treatment plant.
